Q
Pour me out a glass OF your sloe wine. NV
good Jacqueline."
That's right, my mani Eat and
drink, for you've had good day."
Yes, and | have nothing to COMPLAIN
OF, nowadays. My good luck began ON
the night when | took that gentleman TO
The Odeon, you know, the man who left
me in front of Frascati's, and gave me
I'VE good louis to help him carry homo
drunken man to his own house,
The louis are put away in the WOODEN
stocking" said the prudent Jacoueline
and Will go toward getting a horse in
place OF La Grice, when the poor beast
cannot keep up any longer"
,"Oh that's long way off! Listen.
While tell you how many miles She
went to-day"
Tell me about it while | take nv pork
and cabbage off the fire"
well, just think, | was engaged for
five hours this morning, by n man
who finally left me Just as IL struck
IN the Barriere Fontanebleau. Thai
made me eight francs already. and
] was. walking the mare along the Bon
leyard d'Enfer, when | saw a young man
who was leaning up against a tree, and
seemed to be quite out of breath |
smelled out customer, and Pm never
mistaken. was right, and he made a
sign to me, | stopped La Grise he
mounted upon the stepping-stone, and |
had not time to get good look at him
before he had climbed up beside me-"
Pierre, taste this!" said the house
wife, placing smoking dish upon the
table.
ut smells very NICE" said Morillon,
attacking the pork and cabbage.
Whittier did you take your customer
from behind the trees?"
You shall see. Driver said he 20
me, in queer kind of voice, here are
ten francs 60 as fast as you can, bv the
Faubourg Saint jacques, and don't stop,
even if you are called to- At the same
time he put two five-franc pieces in my
hand, and he seemed to be trembling as
though he had been running very fast"
"Ill venture to say that he had been
up to something bad"
81 don't say that he hadn't, although
it is not usual with his SEX"
"What do you mean by this sex ?"
said Jacqueline, who was no scholar.
Aha! you see'' said Pierre, with a
loud laugh, my customer turned out to
be woman dressed like q boy, and it
was easy to see it, too, for she was
mighty pretty, with eyebrows as black
as harness-polish, and eyes as bright as
coach-lamps."
after all, the carnival has not long
been over, and your young woman had
been having little fun at the Barriere. "
GAS to that, you are out she was too
upset for that, and | suspect that there
was a jealous husband or lover in the
matter. She was as pale as death, and
had spiteful look too"
And where was she scamperng to
like that?"
81 cannot tell you, for | do not know
the end of the story. We went along the
Faubourg, and then along the Rue Saint
Jacques to the wharf My young woman
complained that we did not 90 fast
enough, and if had listened to her,
should certainly have killed the mare.
"For u good-for-nothing creature like
that" exclaimed Pierre's wife; "what
nonsense !"
"But knew better; still went as fast
as thought best, and it did not take me
more than half an hour to bring her
through the Halles and the Rue Monitor
gueil to the corner of the Boulevard"
"She told you, then, where she was
going?"
Eyes and no. At each turn she called
out That way! to the left = or, Straight
aheadp and OH l went, but at the end of
the Rue Poissonneire she told me to stop.
While | was refining up felt that she
was slipping two fve-franc pieces into
my hand, and did not need to be coaxed
TO take them. IF am not here in an
hour she whispered in my ear, you
may go away Then she got out"
did she not come back?"
CHATS all right. She had stopped me
50 that should not know where she was
going. saw her turn the corner of the
Boulevard, and remarked an old man
all wrapped up to the eyes, who seemed
to be waiting for her, but that is all |
know about it,"
CAN this, you see, Pierre, is kind OF
thing that don't go on with us, and the
Parisians are queer lot"
"Bah | have my twenty francs in my
pocket and with my other jobs it makes
nearly two louis to put with the others,
and the rest don't concern us; and we
shall drink glass to the health of the
young woman, in bottle OF wine with Il
seal that you must bring me up from the
cellar"
"From the CELLAR" repeated Jacque-
line, in strange tone; ono, indeed"
Good" said Pierre, laughing, "stil
you old story of ghosts"
at is no story, and | would not 20
down for five hundred francs!"
"But, my dear soul, this is all very
well for the country, this talk abou
ghosts, but in Paris there are never any
ghosts to be seen, for they would be takei
| to the station-house.
"Pierre, you are talking like II great
stupid, and ii you had heard them rs
have, no longer ago than to-day"
"Come now, what did you hear, Jacque
line?"
"Noises that were not natural, that's
sure, and | was dreadfully frightened"
Come now, old lady, tell me all abou
it," said Pierre, swallowing down grea
glass of sloc wine.
